Willie Nelson

Another wonderful assignment for The Stranger. I loved doing this drawing -- the man has an amazing face. Seriously.

Primative Slacklines

I designed this logo a few months ago for a very good friend; their website just recently went live. I don't usually do design work, but I really like the way this ended up coming out (probably because it involved drawing something, and Celocampths are ridiculously cool). You can visit their page here.

I've been quiet for the past month, but I have several really exciting projects in progress. A portrait of Willie Nelson for The Stranger (up next week), a full page for FDU's Alumni mag (sometime this month), and two full pages for the Star Ledger's magazine (Inside New Jersey) for sometime in the next few months. Also, a Michele Bachmann painting for me, because it's just irresistible. Check back for updates!

Orange

Just finished this painting and accompanying spot for the cover of The Washington Post Capital Business. The article was about executive compensation. I love the way that the colors came out! As always, this was a blast. When I get a pdf of the cover next week, I'll add it to this post.

More black and white, with a Governor smashing a trumpet.

New assignment for The Pitch Magazine. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback is leading some kind of a conservative charge against his state's arts fund. The AD and I thought an image with some movement would spice things up. I really like the way this drawing turned out.

Republicans

A series of small portraits I did for The Stranger. This is actually part of a larger series of 15 or so, with the rest to come sometime soon. All of them are Republican Presidential hopefuls. This was a total blast to do!

Temple

The assignment's concept here was "from beyond the grave". I wanted to push my solution beyond a bunch of wavy hands coming out of the ground, which was definitely the first image that popped into my head.

What you see here is an image of me and my grandfather, who passed away when I was seven or so. It's strange how someone you knew for so short of a time can still leave such an impact. I still think about him.

Mormons

Client: The Stranger
This piece was a lot of fun! The figure is not particularly well known, but he's the incoming president of Washington University, hence the WU. He's also a mormon republican. Fun.
